Revised Entitlement Offer
Incremental Oil and Gas Limited (ASX: IOG) (“IOG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a revised renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer ( Revised Entitlement Offer ) of 1 new share for every 1 IOG share held on 2 November 2017 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of $0.01 per share to raise up to approximately A$2 million before costs. Applicants will receive 1 free attaching new option for every new share issued. Each new option will have an exercise price of $0.02 and an expiry date of 29 November 2019.
As foreshadowed in the Company’s announcement on 27 October 2017, the previous 5 for 7 pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer announced to ASX on 12 October 2017 ( Withdrawn Offer ) has been withdrawn and will no longer proceed. Further details regarding the Withdrawn Offer are set out on page 3 of this announcement.
The Revised Entitlement Offer issue price of A$0.01 per New Share represents:
-
a 38% discount to the Company’s closing share price of A$0.016 per share on 25 October 2017 (the last trading day before IOG went into trading halt); and
-
• a 46% discount to the 15-day VWAP of A$0.019 per share.
CRP02 39 Entitlement Offer (Revised) Oct3017
1
The net proceeds from the Revised Entitlement Offer are expected to be used to fund:
-
(a) the acquisition of a ~94% working interest (which will equal a ~82% net revenue interest) in the Borie Oil Field in the DJ Basin ( Borie Project ); and
-
(b) working capital for further development of the Company’s projects.
If, for any reason, the acquisition of the Borie Project does not close, then the funds intended for that acquisition are proposed to be used to acquire a project of similar scale and quality or, if such a project cannot be acquired on terms acceptable to the Company, on working capital for the further development of the Company’s projects.
Details of the Revised Entitlement Offer
The Company has prepared a prospectus for the Revised Entitlement Offer dated 27 October 2017 which has been released to ASX today ( Prospectus ). The Prospectus contains full details of the Revised Entitlement Offer and should be read in full.
Only IOG shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Revised Entitlement Offer if they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Prospectus ( Eligible Shareholders ). As the Revised Entitlement Offer is renounceable, investors who purchase an entitlement from an Eligible Shareholder (during the entitlement trading period) may also exercise entitlements provided that they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and otherwise meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Prospectus ( Eligible Entitlement Holders ).
Eligible Shareholders and Eligible Entitlement Holders are collectively referred to as “ Eligible Offerees ”.
Any investor who is in the United States, is a US Person or is acting for the account or benefit of such persons or who is ineligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Revised Entitlement Offer will not be entitled to participate.
Eligible Offerees (other than directors and related parties of IOG) may, in addition to taking up their entitlement, apply for additional new shares (and free attaching new options) in excess of their entitlement under the ‘Top-Up Facility’ offered under the Revised Entitlement Offer.
Trading of Entitlements under the Revised Entitlement Offer
Entitlements are renounceable and will be tradeable on ASX or transferrable offmarket. This provides Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to sell some or all of their entitlements in order to realise value for those entitlements. Trading of entitlements is expected to commence on ASX on Wednesday 1 November 2017 (on a deferred settlement basis) and to end on Tuesday 7 November 2017.
It is the responsibility of purchasers of entitlements to inform themselves of the 'eligibility criteria' (details of which are set out in the Prospectus) for exercise. If holders of entitlements after the end of the trading period do not meet the eligibility criteria, they will not be able to exercise the entitlements. In the event that holders are not able to take up their entitlements, those entitlements will lapse.
No underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.

Lead Manager
CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd has been appointed as lead manager for the issue.
Sale nominee
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.7, IOG has also appointed CPS Capital as nominee to sell the entitlements to which ineligible shareholders are entitled and remit net proceeds (if any) to them.
